50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Harbor City

“Tried this place for the first time, I couldn’t decide between the torta and the chimichanga so I got both. Shredded beef chimichanga and chicken torta. Chicken was white meat and juicy, but a bit bland. Needed some salt and pepper, but for some reason I find shredded chicken bland at a lot of Mexican restaurants (maybe just me). Other than that, food was great! Called in order and picked up, cash only! Friendly service, will definitely be back. In total, this was like $26 but it’s enough for 3 people. Small seating area, I would not recommend dine in for more than 2 people“

“We place an order for chicharon with queso pupusas, cheese quesadilla, and chicken taco dorado. Everything about the cuisine was freshly made and excellent! The chicken tacos dorados were so delicious that we wanted to keep ordering them.“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The food is muy sabrosa and the flavors pack a punch! My husband and I were both delightfully full after cleaning our plates, and my mouth was still dancing in wonder by the time I got home. The service is also spectacular, everyone who works there is just so kind and caring. We'll definitely be making Monarchas our new weekly treat!“

“I've been going to Pollo Loco 30 years and I was blown away by this location's stellar service. I felt like I was in Disneyland as everyone was warm, friendly, courteous and beyond accommodating. Nancy, Braulio and Nathaly gave incredible service from start to finish and even helped with getting the QR code rewards! The food was excellent ! Way to go PCH and Normandie TEAM! I will return and tell everyone to come here!“

“Absolutely great! The food reminded me of my family’s cooking — authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. No other place even comes close. Every bite tasted like home, from the perfectly seasoned dishes to the warm, comforting atmosphere. This restaurant deserves way more attention and should honestly be featured on the Food Network. If you’re looking for real Mexican food that leaves you craving more, this is the spot. Must try!“

“Delicious food and plenty of seats. Not too expensive. They messed up my order one day but they allowed me to return it and they prepared a brand new plate free of charge, no questions asked.

Update (09/04/2024
Prices at this restaurant have gone way up and now they ask for tip when you pay..... it's self serve type of restaurant!! .. so i don't like that.“

“Fourth time ordering their green chilaquiles + asada . Really good, authentic taste. I always like the presentation of their plates as well. :)

I've tried their chicken salad and it was fresh and good size.

Their churro balls are bomb!

I also like that they offer home-cooked meals and local vibes. Affordable and diverse menu too for Mexican and American food.“

“El fin de semana celebramos la quinceañera de mi hija en Rivera's Restaurant y todo estuvo excelente. Desde el primer acercamiento George siempre fue muy amable y comprensivo con lo que esperábamos para nuestra fiesta. La decoración y sobre todo la comida y atención a nuestros invitados fue excelente. Estamos convencidos que volveriamos a tener otro evento con ellos.“

“Service was good food was good. Small place but great will go back. They had a large party and looks like they just started so they offer to give free fruit drinks because the large party was taking their present. Portion was not small but not to little. Come and enjoy.“

“The food was amazing, the service was great. The patio and dinning room were close for some reason, but it didn't matter I got my food to go. My friend told me about this place. I was just in the area for work, but I'd definitely recommend this place!“

“Tito's is really good. We decided to eat there based on the all the positive reviews and sure enough, it checks out! Excellent breakfast burrito is enough for two people. Parking is going to be tough though. If you're lucky, you'll get a spot close to the store. Otherwise prepare for a bit of a walk. Worth it though!“

Such delicious food and unique options on the menu. I also like the atmosphere and the people that work there are always really friendly andcool people.“

“good serving… nice staffs“

“Food was great! Unfortunately they were out of refried beans but i can't hold that against them as they gave me 4 sides instead of 2 to make up for it! Crazy. Very generous portions of delicious food. The mexican fried potatos were not my favorite but they were made well. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality mexican food. Service was excellent, refills of chips, salsa, and drinks were fast and they checked on us often. One of my favorite mexican restaurants of all time!“

“10/10 The best friendly atmosphere Relaxing Great customer service Fresh food with in mins The Dodgers game was on I really enjoyed the restaurant I will recommend this to my friends and family please visit and enjoy The best in months“

“There is nothing better than el Tarasco, rosecrans Manhattan beach. I come back to socal twice a year to visit family and we never go back without stopping here. The chicken (hard shell fried) taco is the best in the world... make sure to order a side of guacamole, their habenero salsa and cheese quesadilla. If u want to branch out carne asada tacos or the junior burrito deluxe.. ,ant go wrong. Sitting at bar stools 300 feet from the beach at a genuine taco stand that's out of this world checks all the boxes. Bring your appetite morning or late night.“

“Their "Ricardo's Super Burrito" is the best! I order it wet style with enchilada sauce and melted cheese on top. They also include chips and salsa with the order. Delicious!“

“Food was delicious first time here will definitely stop by when visiting my family highly recommend only down side is parking small back parking lot highly recommend parking on other side i think it front parking back is a little narrow especially for trucks you can fit it's just my opinion best to park in front“

“Fantastic hidden gem! Located in north long beach, this authentic Mexican restaurant is absolutely delicious. They have plenty of nostalgic dishes that you may remember a loved cooking for you. They have soups, tacos, and special dishes such as costillitas con nopales. I was left very much happily satisfied. Parking is a nightmare, they have a small lot. It is a mom and pop shop, so please keep that in mind when you arrive. Seating is extremely limited, but they have a couple chairs out front to ensure you're taken care of. Please tip if you can as I'm positive a place like this is not common anymore these days. The ladies who serve and take orders have the most cute uniforms and friendliest of service. Anything upon request!!! Please ask before you do. They have a specific seating order and will be happy to accommodate when you ask! Oh they do serve alcohol, beers and margaritas 😬“

“The food was delicious, thank you 😁“

“My husband ordered the machaca plate that was delicious. I ask for the cheeseburger with fries (my bad). The taste of the machaca plate was way better than my order. But we have a good time here. Taste of Mexico in Long Beach. 👍
Good service. Love the people 💕
Cozy place. 🙂“

“Love the service and food. A true gem in the south bay.“

“best food in town Support Local Carson Buisness“

“Breakfast burrito was very good... Different from the ordinary flavors you expect but had everything and a little extra... I got a carne asada breakfast burrito didn't add or take anything off and I will definitely go back... Everything was fresh and the salsa was very flavorful... Overall 8.5 outta 10... Worth trying and I'm going to go back and explore the menu...“

“Friendly staff, tasty food. A staple of the South Bay.“

“I recently had dental work done and needed some of the ingredients finely chopped. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They listened to my needs and went above and beyond to fulfill them. I am very happy with the service. Now on to the food. The food tasted great and was very refreshing. I had a boss bowl with al pastor. They were able to chop everything up for me so I would have very minimal chewing. I'm glad I decided to try this place out for the first time. I missed eating delicious food. Looks like I found my go to place to eat when I get sick of this liquid diet.“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“
